CONTAINER DISPLAY HOLDER.

Application filed June 13,

This invention relates to container display holders and it consists inthe novel features hereinafter described and claimed.

An object of the invention is to provide a holder or container which.will retain cosmetics and the like'the parts and features of theinvention being so arranged and assembled that the containers areattractively displayed and at the same time they may not be readilyremoved from the holder without detection.

The holder is intended to be used in stores or other places where thecontainer and the contents thereof are sold and the holder displays theproducts upon the counter or show; case and at the same time thecontainers are so held that they cannot be easily removed Withoutdetection thus preventing theft.

With these and other objects in view, the structure includes asupporting panel of card-' board or heavy paper having slots cut thereinand a frame, also of cardboard or heavy paper, having bracket portionsadapted to receive and hold the containers and also provided with earswhich are inserted through the slots and which look against the endedges thereof.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of one formof the container display holder.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view of a modified form of the same.

In both forms of the invention the container display holder includes apanel or strip 1 of cardboard or heavy paper and which is provided atspaced intervals with slots 2. The said slots are preferably four innumber. Any suitable advertising matter (not shown) may be printed orotherwise applied to the adverse surface of the panel 1 and at the sideof the holding frame herein.- after described.

In the form of the invention shown in Figure 10f the drawing, a frame 3is provided the said frame being cut from a piece-of cardboard or heavypaper. The said frame is provided with opposite sideportions havingconcaved edge sections 1 and the said side portions are connectedtogether by spaced brackets 5. The concaved sections 4 are disposedbetween the brackets 5. The side portions of the frame are provided withears 6 which pass through the slots 2 and the said ears 6 are providedat their lower edges with recesses 7 adapted to receive the material of1928. Serial No. 285,020.

the panel 1 at the lower end of the slots 2 after said ears have beenpassed through the slots when the frame 3 is moved longitudinally in adownward direction.

The container, one of which is indicated at the dotted line 8 in Figure1 of the drawing is inserted between the brackets 5 so that the adacentbrackets are disposed across opposite peripheral portions of thecontainer. The panel 1 holds the frame 3 comparatively rigid and thecontainer 8 cannot be removed from between the brackets withouttearing-or mutilating the frame. The concaved edge sections 4 aredisposed opposite the inner sides of the containers and provide aclearance space through which the tips of the fingers may be insertedwhen it is desired to remove any particular container from the frame,and which can be done only by tearing the frame. I

In the form of the arrangement as shown in Figure 2 of the drawing theinner edges of the sides of the frame 3 are extended inwardly towardeach other in the form of flanges 9 and the ears 6 are out from the saidflanges leaving openings 10 therein. The flanges 9 form the rear sidefor the frame and are disposed directly against the forward surface ofthe panel 1. The ears 6 pass through the panel and are disposed againstthe rear side thereof in the same manner as described in connection withthe form as shown in Figure 1 of the drawing.

The containers are held in position upon the frame as shown in Figure 2of the drawng in the same manner as described in con- 1uncti0n with thestructure shown inFigure'l and are removed from the frame as shown inFigure 2 in the same manner as hereinbefore described.

A prime object of the present invention 1s to provide a display holderhaving its parts and features so arranged as to prevent the readyremoval of the products displayed without tearing the frame. The productcannot be removed from the frame in any manner without tearing the frameunless the frame is unlocked from the supporting strip. The containersare placed in the frame from the back thereof before the frame ismounted upon the strip. The frame will hold three, four or morecontainers and in each instance where a container is removed, it isnecessary, in order to perpetuate the display, to unlock at the back.The display is intended only lOQ the containers are safely held orretained while on exhibition.

While I have particularly described the elements best adapted to performthe functions set forth, it is obvious that various changes in form,proportion and in the minor details of construction may be resorted to,without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the principlesof the invention.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1; A container displayholder comprising a panel having slots, a frame having side portionsprovided with ears which pass through the slots, said ears havingrecesses adapted to engage the edges of the slots and the frame havingspaced bracket portions the spaces between the bracket portions beingless in length than the diameter of the container which is held betweenthe bracket portions.- 2. A container display holder comprising a panelhaving slots, a frame having side portions provided with ears, said earspassing through the slots and having recesses adapted to engage the endsof the slots, the frame having spaced bracket portions and the edges ofthe sides of the frame between said bracket portions having concavedsections.

8. A container display holder comprising a panel having slots, a framehaving side portions provided with ears, said ears passing through theslots and having recesses which receive the end portions of the slots,the side portions of the frame having inwardly disposed flanges whichform the rear side of the frame and the side portions of the framehaving spaced bracket portions adapted to receive the container betweenthem.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
